Heo Jin-soo, the son of Heo Young-in, chairman of Sangmi Holdings (formerly SPC Group) and a third-generation owner, has been appointed as the new CEO of the company.
On June 25, Sangmi Holdings announced that it has designated Heo as the new CEO and will launch the 'Sangmi Council' on July 1, which will include representatives from major affiliates.
The company plans to enhance its core functions as a holding company through this appointment, focusing on discovering new business opportunities, managing its investment portfolio, establishing global growth strategies, and advancing research and development (R&D).
The Sangmi Council will serve as a forum to discuss common management issues across affiliates and respond to changes in the external environment, aiming to increase collaboration and synergy among the companies. The inaugural chair will be Do Se-ho, president of Paris Croissant.
The council will operate committees focused on key areas such as external policy, communication, compliance, safety management, and coexistence. This structure is intended to facilitate discussions on collaborative tasks among affiliates and enhance execution capabilities.
The existing 'Change and Innovation Promotion Team,' which has been composed of internal and external members, will be restructured to focus on external experts. This change aims to strengthen independence and expertise, allowing for objective reviews and advisory roles on key issues discussed within the Sangmi Council.
Do Se-ho, chair of the Sangmi Council, stated, "We have launched the council to systematically discuss common management issues among affiliates and enhance synergy between companies. We will further refine the responsibility management system centered around the CEO and continuously strengthen management transparency."
